With all the wars and crises going on in the world, let's discuss arts.

Russia is back at the Venice Biennale. This is not just art - it’s a cultural-information operation: an effort to make the presence of an aggressor state appear "normal" again.

β€œI’ll definitely film the cat.”

Ukraine’s defenders never fail to stay optimistic, no matter what life throws at them. And to adore cats.

Who doesn’t? Even when the setting is less than acceptable, cats are always prime 🐈

I’m trying to think of the most neutral, objective, apolitical way to say this and it comes down to:

There is a claim that the President of the United States sexually assaulted a child. The claim had enough credibility to merit several FBI interviews. Trump’s DOJ is withholding that information.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem β€œI Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) criticizing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it ironic he danced on an electrical post given Puerto Rico’s power grid issues, and accusing him of choosing β€œdegeneracy” instead of highlighting the crisis. Below are two photos from the performance showing Bad Bunny and dancers dressed in white on elevated structures with pyrotechnics.

This is an apartment in downtown #Kyiv.

The temperature inside dropped to -4Β°C. The heated towel rail burst, water inside froze, the pressure plug flew into the ceiling and punched through the suspended ceiling.
The entire plant collection turned into one solid block of ice.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Are they going to also "blame a staffer" for Obama permanently living, 24/7, rent-free in his head?

This February 14th will be 8 years since our daughter Jaime was murdered in the Parkland shooting. It would mean a lot to me if you would watch this video to learn more about the work we do in her memory.

Thank you.
